Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory seeks fundamental knowledge about the origin, evolution, and future of the natural world.
LAMONT BY THE NUMBERS
Earth & Climate Science News
A new study shows that a giant current circling Antarctica has speeded up during past warm periods, eating away at the polar ice. It's doing it again now.
Current full-time Columbia and Barnard students (undergraduate, graduate, and PhD) are eligible to apply.
The remainder of my fieldwork focuses on the GNSS (the general term for GPS) instruments in eastern Bangladesh to study the tectonics and earthquake hazard.
LAMONT IN THE MEDIA
Lamont researchers are in the field studying the dynamics of the planet on every continent and every ocean. Journalists may join and cover expeditions when possible. Learn more about this essential fieldwork.
